i-mate launch three new products at GITEX

Keeping with the sleek look of i-mate™, these devices see improved functionality and increased features, with each device specialised to suit different requirements.

"With three new devices being introduced to the region during GITEX - adding to the i-mate™ products currently on the market, including the i-mate™ Pocket PC and recently launched i-mate™ SP3 - we hope to cater to the needs of all mobile device users," commented Jim Morrison, i-mate™ Founder and CEO. "All our devices continue to have the standard i-mate™ features, such as Windows Mobile™ software, built in camera and Bluetooth capability, but each one focuses on different functions to meet the needs of the user," he added.

The i-mate™ PDA2k is an excellent tool for data power users. A similar size to the i-mate™ Pocket PC, the i-mate™ PDA2k's key features are a 39 key QWERTY keyboard which slides under the unit to make it compact, Wireless LAN and added key function buttons. All these features enhance the factor that makes the i-mate™ PDA2k shine for those it suits - its connectivity. With built in 802.11b Wi-Fi integrated into the 400MHz CPU and its Quad band GSM/GPRS compatibility - 800/900/1800/1900MHz - the i-mate™ PDA2k is the way to stay in touch when away from your computer.

Putting the FUN into functionality is the i-mate™ SP3i - ideal for the serious mobile phone user looking to make the most out of their functions. In a sleek black and silver finish and with an easy to use gaming joystick, the i-mate™ SP3i has been specifically built for 3D gaming. The device comes with high end games including Tennis Addict, Cannons, Jewel Master and Snake, as well as additional exclusive ringtones and themes from i-mate™ built in. Couple this with the standard i-mate™ features, the i-mate™ SP3i is excellent for multiplayer or online interactive games from i-mate™ Interactive. With the i-mate™ SP3i, you can take gaming everywhere.

The final device in the new trio is the i-mate™ JAM. Designed as a small, mid-tier music device with exceptional audio quality, it can be used for accessing online music and internet with the built in GSM/GPRS mobile phone and the new Windows Media Player 10. Also boasting a 1.3 Mega Pixel camera with a full screen viewfinder and a rotating screen, the i-mate™ JAM gives both excellent sound and vision - the ultimate solution to the communications and entertainment needs of the modern day.

All of the i-mate™ devices come with the standard features, such as Microsoft Windows Mobile software, extensive memory capability, built in camera and antenna, 64k colour transflective LCD and Bluetooth compatibility. In addition to this, all i-mate™ device users are able to take advantage of club i-mate™, an exclusive online community which offers excellent real-time support as well as ring tones, games, device themes, music, software and accessories at special prices. Registration is free and membership also allows you access to club i-mate™ email, a hosted Microsoft email account with a capability of 10MB storage.

The new i-mate™ PDA2k, i-mate™ SP3i and i-mate™ JAM are available for viewing and hands on trials during GITEX. GITEX takes place from 3rd to 7th October at the Dubai International Exhibition Centre Complex and the i-mate™ stand is located in Hall 5, stand F5-1. i-mate™ staff will be on hand to answer questions and give advice to users.
